The single unluckiest person in GI is not Tectone, it’s a chinese streamer who lost 50/50 on the weapon banner 32 times in a row and got 32 copies of Skyward Atlas.
There's an afterword to this story: after epitomised path was added, Tectone managed to pull this off AGAIN because he didn't correctly set his desired weapon.
The reason (I think) they don’t do 1 fate point is because they don’t want you to get both featured weapons in under 160 pulls. Imagine if there is Homa and Neuvilette weapon. You set epitomize path to Neuvilette weapon, but you get Homa instead. Then the next time is guaranteed Neuvilette weapon. I assume they think that’s too much value you get under 160 pulls.
Yeah. But that causes no one to pull on the weapon banners except the min/max whales. Just make it 100% guaranteed with only the single weapon, and every player, even the casuals will start pulling causing bigger revenue XD
Good. Please don't touch it. I did weapon banner 5 times, Got the other one 3 times, Got standard weapon once, And actually getting what I set the path for once.
Well staff of homa's passive on a level 90 character who has 20k hp it will give them 200 extra atk ts amazing for hybrid hp and atk scaling characters
Sword: Mistsplitter, Jade Cutter Polearm: Homa, Scarlett Sands Bow: Aqua, Hunters Path Claymore: Beacon These are imo the only weapon worth pulling because of their stats and versatility
17:20 I remember people actually thinking the epitomized path was great since it finally gave people a guarantee to get the weapon they want. Which is why I thought it was funny to see so many people complain about the new banner with its fate point.
[12:00] I think this is the reason why "Mihoyo" changed the weapons banner relatively quickly after this incident. It was too public, and worst of all, it discouraged whales from pulling on the weapons banner. If a whale could spend a lot of money and still come up short then why would other whales spend anymore than a F2P on the banner? Mihoyo needed to let whales know that if they spent, their rewards were guaranteed to come home.
I mean, yeah - any logical person/company would change their system to better support their patrons... That's how the world works. You're a bit radical with how you worded your response, making Mihoyo look shameless and greedy - when truthfully Genshin Impact has one of the least greediest gacha systems to ever exist. Whether this incident was "too public" or not, they would've eventually changed the weapon banner when they found out that players weren't using the weapon banner anymore. Thankfully the problem did become viral, and so, it was brought to Mihoyo's attention quicker as a result.
@@wretched_outsider Bad reputation, infamous. Genshin is still one of the most infamous games in the world, and for good reasons too. And don't you dare to defend miHoYo for no reason.
Tectone, who was hated even the early days of the game, was a whale and would often c6 a character and if he still has resources,R5 a weapon. The staff of homeless incident made made people including others whales AVOID the weapon banner like a plague FORCING Hoyo to "improve" the system slightly
The only reason I ever pulled in a Banner weapon is because it was a win/win situation. I really like Navia's Weapon design and I had her guaranteed already, so I went expecting to lose a huge amount of primos. and "lose" I did, I got 2 Mistsplitters before getting a Veredict. I think they where all at 65-ish pity. I will probably go again when another banner like that rolls around (like, where a lost will equal a meta weapon). But, yeah. Don't pull on weapon banners, it's a scam. Unless they change it to a regular 50/50. If HSR can do it, Genshin could do it too. But Genshin could never am I right?
My phone is connected to my dad’s credit card in case I ever want anything, but I would NEVER spend any money without asking him. I haven’t used any of his money yet, but if I ever do, I’ll just pay him back in physical money. What that girl did was crazy
Honestly the best thing about learning about Tectone's Staff of Homeless incident is coming from FGO to Genshin and seeing that. Because FGO had no pity system for half a decade, there have been a number of incidents on this scale or worse. I totally recommend Myst's Oberon series for that lol
I remember pulling for jade cutter and getting the key and then skyward pride 😤.. the banner went away and i got nothing else and I used all my pulls and then some. That made me change how I approach weapon banner
im surprised there was no mention of how the first banner for staff of homa was not only an obviously very anticipated weapon banner but it also lasted only 2 weeks, instead of the usual 3, because it was during the patch where they shoe-horned keqing's banner in the middle. so the FOMO was even MORE intense than usual (bearing in mind also that this was in 1.3 so, before we had gotten any kind of rerun in genshin since its launch. believe it or not there were debates at the time about whether characters and weapons would even Get reruns at all) and people were rushing even more to scrounge up whatever primos they could for this one. it was a very strange patch hahaha personally i wanted wolf's gravestone and got two staff of homas :( and of course they never reran wolf's gravestone on the weapon banner after implementing epitomized path (i still dont have it to this day)
People were mad about it back then because it was obvious once it was explained that it was mostly for whales, as only whales or basically f2p hoarders could guarantee a weapon at the time. It was often described as "only to appease/good for the whales" I think the reason the chronicled wish fate point is seen as a negative is because due to the way it works (resetting each time just like the weapon banner) it means you NEED to have enough currency each time. Losing the weapon banner still guarantees you a featured weapon next time. Losing on the new banner is a complete loss of the guarantee if you can't go to your next pity
Ironically back then, I got an early staff of Homa and kept pulling because I thought WGS was limited. Also oddly enough staff of Homa is probably the weapon I got the most excess copies of.
Wrong. Weapon banner resets too. Additionally, the new banner looks like it will be double length of other banners, lasting whole patch. Not to mention its the first time you can lose a 50/50 to another Limited 5 star, and avoiding other standard ones like Qiqi. So basically, like the weapon banner, the new Chronicle wish will only be advised if you are happy to lose your 50 to most of the others featured and/or can guarantee.
Me and my 4 copies of WGS I got on the way on Standard Banner, when I hoped to get ANYTHING new: Quite handy they're going to bring WGS on the Chronicle Wish banner.... 👀
Could you imagine if Genshin never made the ability to pick what you wanted with the fate system and went on to make that banner still. People would be C6ing Eula Albedo and Klee trying to get Diluc or something.
That incident with Tectone made me not pull for the weapon banner for more than 3 years. I only pulled once, on Navia cause i liked her and had wishes to spare, or else i would've skipped it.
Just to add salt to the wound, I also did 3 10 pulls on the infamous Homa banner (before the news about the pain started spreading. I didn't want Homa. Just wanted more weapons and had a bunch of primos leftover from exploring the crap out of everything). And got wgs, my first 5star weapon. 😅
i have lost 3 banners trying to get Homa and another 3 trying to get Mistsplitter. i have all the Skyward weapons, 3 PJWS, 3wgs, other 5* weaps w/o their 5* owners. still no Homa, still no Mistsplitter
I also pulled on this banner as a bp+welkin player because I wanted both weapons for either Zhongli/Beidou and I would've been fine with either of them. I got WGS and even though I wanted it I was still obviously disappointed because Homa is limited and also more universal. I was considering topping up specifically for another pity but what happened to Tectone convinced me not to. Fast forward to the next day, I claim the last 1 pull from the 5 days mail event they usually do on lantern rite, not knowing what to do with it I ended up dropping it on weapon banner and got Homa back to back.
Like seriously, Chronicled Banner has one 1 Max Fate Point to get the character or weapon you want. Idk why they didn't just do that on the weapon banner at the first place.
I have about 90 5* weapons, some refined, and still no WGS. At this point I'm like you - I want to see how long it takes to acquire it 'naturally'. It's the only standard weapon not in my collection, and I might just obtain all limited weapons at least once before having got it. God speed on getting your WGS, friend o7
What makes this video even funnier for me, is that I made a 10 pull with 0 pity just for fun on the weapon banner back then and got Staff of Homa straight away.
I've been a f2p player since I started Genshin at 2.3... I always heard how bad the weapon banner is and I didn't wish on it until I did. I've gotten 5 sig. weap. from the weapon banner up until now and all BACK TO BACK without using a SINGLE fate point. And then one of my friends show me the Tectone situation and I REALLY feel lucky. Somebody call Mona cuz idfk how the stars are aligned for me, a nobody, having the exact opposite luck from a well known Streamer.
17:16 I'll say for myself I hated it even at the time. My initial thought was the Dipper "this is useless!" meme. I've never used it, and the very few limited weapons I've gotten were off the first 5 star I got on a weapon banner. I've never hit the hard cap of epitomized path, so I don't have much hope for the chronicle banner unless I save enough to guarantee pity
I've never seen those Tectone videos before, but GOD that's brutal! As a f-2-p/low spender on the game (I've only ever paid for the Welkin Moon, and only started getting that after spending over a year playing the game) I never wished on the weapon banners back then (thank Christ). I only started pulling on the weapon banner about a year ago because I've got so many characters at this point that I might as well, and it still kinda sucks _even with_ the Epitomized Path. If I want to go for a weapon, I have to plan for it MONTHS in advance and save up HUNDREDS of wishes to make sure I get it, but at least I can guarantee I will get it! I can't even imagine pulling on the weapon banner as a f2p/low spender without Epitomized Path!
I watched this video an hour or so after it had released way back when. as a day 1 player, and first gacha game player, i didn't know much, but walked away with the lesson: dont pull on weapon banner. Last year i was on vacation in the dominican republic and a weapon banner came around with, i believe, Staff of Homa and Aqua simulacra. I got yelan to c1, then still had 90 pulls left i said " ah what the heck" and emptied on weapon banner. I walked away with 1 aqua and 2 staves of homa. Given i was on vacation at the time in total, vacation included, probably paid as much as Teccy did.
I really want them to add some sort lf system for 4 star characters/items at this point. Maybe a fate system on the standard banner. It might drive money towards the standard banner a bit.
You could do a ranking on which characters you could get interested in you (not which ones you are interested in) and how long you could keep them interested e.g. first date, third date, one night stand, wedding day. Or play matchmaker you have to couple up all the characters could pc and pc or pc and npc e.g. albedo and albedo 2, klee and timmey, until all the pcs have a match
My guess as to why Hoyo refused to let the Weapon Banner give a guarantee after just one lost 50/50 is because weapons can be used on different characters with the same scaling stat of the weapon (especially if the player has a specific build in mind). This means if you R5 one particularly good weapon, it can work on multiple characters of the same type and you don't have to wish for that weapon again when your characters can just share it. Hoyo just wants to profit as much as they can from the gacha before actually rewarding the player, betting on luck about how much they can receive and on the player's willingness on how much they wish to invest on the weapons.
I think the one thing I like about the new banner is that it looks like it'll include limited 5-star weapons as well, and you only need 1 Fate point to guarantee, so it is, in that instance, cheaper than the weapon banner. Also, I find it crazy how some people have accused Tectone of glorifying whaling, when he himself not only told people to be careful with their spending in that stream, but also has said in other streams that he is in a special circumstance that his viewers are not - one where he has plenty of money to afford it, makes his money back from the content, and can write it off his taxes. Your average gacha player can't do that.
I was there when Teccy was going through this pain lmfao probably the biggest reason why he’s exhausted with the game. It was hilarious to the point of TEARS but I felt so bad. He looked like a little kid who got his balloon popped, while his ice cream fell on the ground, and then someone pushed him on the ground and stole his puppy. He was BROKEN lmao and I felt so bad for him. Now…regarding the new Weapon banner system. WTF WERE THEY THINKING LETTING THE FATE POINTS EXPIRE AFTER THE BANNER ENDED?? Either incorporate the same mechanic for the character banner (lose 50/50 once, win the next, OR OR OR, allow the fate points to transfer over to whatever banner you wish on again. Since everyone gets a 5 star at 80 wishes, 240 on weapon and 160 on character. That shits too much. OR ANOTHER OPTION!! Just like on events with new skins for characters, once we have enough points we just click the outfit and we got it, if we lose the 50/50 2 F*CKING TIMES, then we click the weapon and get it without wishing a single time. Banner still sucks. It’s better, but it still sucks more than it’s better. Okay. I’m done venting lmfaooo
It's 2 fate points bc it's a 25/37.5/37.5 if you lose the first one to the 25 and get a standard then it becomes 50/50 and then if you get the wrong signature weapon then that's when they want to guarantee you the weapon you want.
Lol what u said at 12:00 happened to me,heard about the horrible gacha system and swore off the game,first exposure at ver2.6 due to collab between the game and boba tea,got interested into the game recently due to the lore and finally tried the game 3 weeks ago because my firend was playing. Now i need to save up for whoever tickles my fancy while dealing with the game constantly crashing on me. Love it so far but i might be exploring too much,found the cryo regisvine when my chara is only lvl 7
I forgot to choose my 5 star weapon before wishing for Engulfed Lightning, I don’t get why it would be off by default… I got Yoimiya’s bow and I don’t even have a fate point as a consolation prize.
When I first got into the game, I was warned that the weapon banner was a scam. Then this incident happened & laid it all bare for everyone to see. The odds against Tectone were truly astronomical.
I'll say this... I C6R5 Eula on her debut banner, and I'm pretty sure it didn't take me $2k to get there. I believe Aquila was the weapon running with Broken Pines at the time and while I did miss twice or three times, I only got one copy of Aquila (which at the time I was also wanting a copy of). Fast forward to present day, I still have R1 Aquila. I do also have R1 WGS, but that's another story... 😊
I honestly don't understand one thing why are so many people hating on the new character banner with one fate point? it's the same as normal character banners!!! you wish, didn't get the character you want? the next is guaranteed to be the one you want it' literally the same only difference is fate points don't keep to next banners but, like, essentially it's the same as event wishes
LOL I still remember when this went down in the early days 😂😂😂 Oh the memories! I didn't touch the weapon banner until Raiden came out. Thankfully I got her weapon. Saved for a long time
Pulling on weapon banners could be REALLY GOOD if you're aiming for a 4 star weapon. Weapons like the Alley Flash are only found on the weapon banner, nd its the best 4 star for Bennett. Although pulling for a 5 star weapon on the weapon banner could inly be really viable if both weapons are good for your account. (I'll pull on the weapon banner in 4.5 as f2p, for Chiori's signature as someone with Albedo nd no Cinnabar Spindle, but even if i get Redhorn Stonethresher it'd be very nice since i have itto as well 💀👍) Its best to not pull on it, maybe the new chronicled wish could be a replacement for weapon banner in general ig
I only pull on the weapon banner either for the archons or if there are no best in slot 4 stars. Ive only had to pull on the weapon banner 3 times in three years using this method.
oh my god. i remember this. i remember thinking how crazy it was to see someone spend 2k on a game and then now i see whale accounts that have spent over 40k over the years 😭.
I hate the weapon banner. I was pulling for Xiao's weapon, hit pity and got Kagura's Verity. I was sad, but used the measly amount of primos I had left and got another five star at 4 pity... I lost to a standard weapon. I... I just want that spear man.
In honkai impact, you don't get the pity system. You are guaranteed at 100 pity and yes, it's even more hellish than both genshin and hsr. This is after the modifications. Back in the day it was much much more ruthless than now.
Honestly, the best way to get the weapon you want is to choose the path for the one you don’t want. Seriously. Try it - you’re more likely to pull the 5* you want, because the system is set up to give Hoyo more money - so, cheese the system by choosing the weapon you don’t really want.
Well here i am just being "blessed" i guess cuz i got neuvilette's signature at 35 pity and rate off cuz this is my very first time pulling on weapon banner
I be honest and say, I used to spend Money on Genshin, but in an very small Amount. I got enough out of these days to last me forever and I'm never going back. I spend a little over 1000€ on the Game, but came to my senses by myself and said "screw it".
I recently got Nahida 10 summons after pulling Nahida i got Yae Miko one single summon after i got her i got Xiao my luck is insane but all i wanted was to build pity for Nuevilette😭
I think my luck was on par if not worse than Tectone, I don't remember how much exactly but let's just say I have 10 wgs and 4 skyward pride on my account as a reminder of pre-pity weapon banner..
Yeah, don't pull on the weapon banner. Out of the 3 times I've gone for a weapon I went 2/2 twice and 1/2 the other time. It took me 199 wishes just to get Verdict for Navia... At least mistplitter was on that banner and not some very niche weapon that is useless on all but 1 character. 430 total pulls to get 3 weapons I wanted. Compare that to 955 pulls to get 10 characters I wanted... Even though the weapon banner is better now, it is still a huge primogem sinkhole.
The unluckiest man. It's even very rare to get unlucky like this 🤣. That's why I don't pull for the weapon banner back then. I started pulling when they put fate points on it. I was still unlucky but not that much 🤣
I feel like games with gacha mechanics should have some safeguards against irresponsible spending. There are people with gambling addictions, and lack of self-control.
I find the fate Point guarantee being after 2 lost 5050s still a scam. That’s too many wishes, and the FOMO from having filled 2/2 fate points by like 1 day before the banner leaves is so high people end up feeling a strong incentive to spend. The game doesn’t give us enough resources even if you save for 2 patches to 2/2 fate points and then guarantee the third weapon you want. It’s just another way to scan while looking good. I guarantee you less people would be pulling on the weapon banner after a loss back then than now. The new banner system is technically better for weapon selection specifically of course, but it’s still a bit garbage due to us knowing fuck all for how long they run for/when they come back, and the fact that it’s a separate pity system from the normal banners which still requires primos and event wishes, with faint points not carrying over.
The reason why Bran still doesn't have a WGS LMAO
I'm sure Bran will end up with 10 Homa instead
Tectone stole all of the WGS, ther is none on sa sa

still have not purchased a single gem and still going strong after almost 4 years
This was pure insanity back then though very entertaining while also making VERY sure that everyone stayed away from the weapon banner.
I remember watching bran react to genshin before he even started playing, crazy how fast time went by
19:00 the voice of a broken man,may he rest in peace
Na bruh, Bro is The luckiest unluckiest person.
Bro is legit IRL benny.
Like seriously, Chronicled Banner has one 1 Max Fate Point to get the character or weapon you want. Idk why they didn't just do that on the weapon banner at the first place.
just to remind you guys after that stream Teccy still pull for R5 Homa so basically he lost more than $2000 pulling for Homa.
Its really hard to think someone lost 2000 dollar for a Homa meanwhile I only get for 4 pulls
I have about 90 5* weapons, some refined, and still no WGS. At this point I'm like you - I want to see how long it takes to acquire it 'naturally'. It's the only standard weapon not in my collection, and I might just obtain all limited weapons at least once before having got it.
God speed on getting your WGS, friend o7
What makes this video even funnier for me, is that I made a 10 pull with 0 pity just for fun on the weapon banner back then and got Staff of Homa straight away.
I've been a f2p player since I started Genshin at 2.3... I always heard how bad the weapon banner is and I didn't wish on it until I did. I've gotten 5 sig. weap. from the weapon banner up until now and all BACK TO BACK without using a SINGLE fate point. And then one of my friends show me the Tectone situation and I REALLY feel lucky. Somebody call Mona cuz idfk how the stars are aligned for me, a nobody, having the exact opposite luck from a well known Streamer.
17:16 I'll say for myself I hated it even at the time. My initial thought was the Dipper "this is useless!" meme. I've never used it, and the very few limited weapons I've gotten were off the first 5 star I got on a weapon banner. I've never hit the hard cap of epitomized path, so I don't have much hope for the chronicle banner unless I save enough to guarantee pity
Since i f2p This is a reason why i never pull at weapon banner
I've never seen those Tectone videos before, but GOD that's brutal!
As a f-2-p/low spender on the game (I've only ever paid for the Welkin Moon, and only started getting that after spending over a year playing the game) I never wished on the weapon banners back then (thank Christ).
I only started pulling on the weapon banner about a year ago because I've got so many characters at this point that I might as well, and it still kinda sucks _even with_ the Epitomized Path. If I want to go for a weapon, I have to plan for it MONTHS in advance and save up HUNDREDS of wishes to make sure I get it, but at least I can guarantee I will get it! I can't even imagine pulling on the weapon banner as a f2p/low spender without Epitomized Path!
I watched this video an hour or so after it had released way back when. as a day 1 player, and first gacha game player, i didn't know much, but walked away with the lesson: dont pull on weapon banner. Last year i was on vacation in the dominican republic and a weapon banner came around with, i believe, Staff of Homa and Aqua simulacra. I got yelan to c1, then still had 90 pulls left i said " ah what the heck" and emptied on weapon banner. I walked away with 1 aqua and 2 staves of homa. Given i was on vacation at the time in total, vacation included, probably paid as much as Teccy did.
And I have 3 staff of homa because I save for Yelan bow the first homa I get wining 50 50 on hu Tao banner in 2.0 era version
I saw the original Mujin video, Teccy’s reaction, and now Bran’s and I feel sorry for Tectone
I really want them to add some sort lf system for 4 star characters/items at this point. Maybe a fate system on the standard banner. It might drive money towards the standard banner a bit.
You could do a ranking on which characters you could get interested in you (not which ones you are interested in) and how long you could keep them interested e.g. first date, third date, one night stand, wedding day.
Or play matchmaker you have to couple up all the characters could pc and pc or pc and npc e.g. albedo and albedo 2, klee and timmey, until all the pcs have a match
My guess as to why Hoyo refused to let the Weapon Banner give a guarantee after just one lost 50/50 is because weapons can be used on different characters with the same scaling stat of the weapon (especially if the player has a specific build in mind). This means if you R5 one particularly good weapon, it can work on multiple characters of the same type and you don't have to wish for that weapon again when your characters can just share it. Hoyo just wants to profit as much as they can from the gacha before actually rewarding the player, betting on luck about how much they can receive and on the player's willingness on how much they wish to invest on the weapons.
I think the one thing I like about the new banner is that it looks like it'll include limited 5-star weapons as well, and you only need 1 Fate point to guarantee, so it is, in that instance, cheaper than the weapon banner.
Also, I find it crazy how some people have accused Tectone of glorifying whaling, when he himself not only told people to be careful with their spending in that stream, but also has said in other streams that he is in a special circumstance that his viewers are not - one where he has plenty of money to afford it, makes his money back from the content, and can write it off his taxes. Your average gacha player can't do that.
i just select the weapon i "dont want" in epitomized path and get the weapon i want. Works Everytime...😜😜
From what anime is ths picture from 9:26
I was there when Teccy was going through this pain lmfao probably the biggest reason why he’s exhausted with the game. It was hilarious to the point of TEARS but I felt so bad. He looked like a little kid who got his balloon popped, while his ice cream fell on the ground, and then someone pushed him on the ground and stole his puppy. He was BROKEN lmao and I felt so bad for him. Now…regarding the new Weapon banner system. WTF WERE THEY THINKING LETTING THE FATE POINTS EXPIRE AFTER THE BANNER ENDED?? Either incorporate the same mechanic for the character banner (lose 50/50 once, win the next, OR OR OR, allow the fate points to transfer over to whatever banner you wish on again. Since everyone gets a 5 star at 80 wishes, 240 on weapon and 160 on character. That shits too much. OR ANOTHER OPTION!! Just like on events with new skins for characters, once we have enough points we just click the outfit and we got it, if we lose the 50/50 2 F*CKING TIMES, then we click the weapon and get it without wishing a single time. Banner still sucks. It’s better, but it still sucks more than it’s better. Okay. I’m done venting lmfaooo
It's 2 fate points bc it's a 25/37.5/37.5 if you lose the first one to the 25 and get a standard then it becomes 50/50 and then if you get the wrong signature weapon then that's when they want to guarantee you the weapon you want.
Lol what u said at 12:00 happened to me,heard about the horrible gacha system and swore off the game,first exposure at ver2.6 due to collab between the game and boba tea,got interested into the game recently due to the lore and finally tried the game 3 weeks ago because my firend was playing. Now i need to save up for whoever tickles my fancy while dealing with the game constantly crashing on me. Love it so far but i might be exploring too much,found the cryo regisvine when my chara is only lvl 7
I forgot to choose my 5 star weapon before wishing for Engulfed Lightning, I don’t get why it would be off by default… I got Yoimiya’s bow and I don’t even have a fate point as a consolation prize.
When I first got into the game, I was warned that the weapon banner was a scam. Then this incident happened & laid it all bare for everyone to see. The odds against Tectone were truly astronomical.
Bran must see the one Tectone reacts, he explained it very detail.
I'll say this... I C6R5 Eula on her debut banner, and I'm pretty sure it didn't take me $2k to get there. I believe Aquila was the weapon running with Broken Pines at the time and while I did miss twice or three times, I only got one copy of Aquila (which at the time I was also wanting a copy of). Fast forward to present day, I still have R1 Aquila. I do also have R1 WGS, but that's another story... 😊
I honestly don't understand one thing
why are so many people hating on the new character banner with one fate point?
it's the same as normal character banners!!!
you wish, didn't get the character you want? the next is guaranteed to be the one you want
it' literally the same
only difference is fate points don't keep to next banners
but, like, essentially it's the same as event wishes
LOL I still remember when this went down in the early days 😂😂😂 Oh the memories! I didn't touch the weapon banner until Raiden came out. Thankfully I got her weapon. Saved for a long time
Pulling on weapon banners could be REALLY GOOD if you're aiming for a 4 star weapon. Weapons like the Alley Flash are only found on the weapon banner, nd its the best 4 star for Bennett.
Although pulling for a 5 star weapon on the weapon banner could inly be really viable if both weapons are good for your account.
(I'll pull on the weapon banner in 4.5 as f2p, for Chiori's signature as someone with Albedo nd no Cinnabar Spindle, but even if i get Redhorn Stonethresher it'd be very nice since i have itto as well 💀👍)
Its best to not pull on it, maybe the new chronicled wish could be a replacement for weapon banner in general ig
I only pull on the weapon banner either for the archons or if there are no best in slot 4 stars. Ive only had to pull on the weapon banner 3 times in three years using this method.
I think the fate point thing wasn't a good solution, but at least is better than no warranty at all. So let's be happy.
I remember this banner. I wanted WGS but got Homa instead. I didnot know that weapon was broken back then😂
oh my god. i remember this. i remember thinking how crazy it was to see someone spend 2k on a game and then now i see whale accounts that have spent over 40k over the years 😭.
I hate the weapon banner. I was pulling for Xiao's weapon, hit pity and got Kagura's Verity. I was sad, but used the measly amount of primos I had left and got another five star at 4 pity... I lost to a standard weapon. I... I just want that spear man.
In honkai impact, you don't get the pity system. You are guaranteed at 100 pity and yes, it's even more hellish than both genshin and hsr. This is after the modifications. Back in the day it was much much more ruthless than now.
I got 3 skyward blades and no amos bow during ganyu's first banner.
I rolled on that banner for the express purpose of getting a WGS, got it and dipped. Funniest thing ever.
WW weapon banner system is probably going to be the best.
Honestly, the best way to get the weapon you want is to choose the path for the one you don’t want. Seriously. Try it - you’re more likely to pull the 5* you want, because the system is set up to give Hoyo more money - so, cheese the system by choosing the weapon you don’t really want.
If need the first weapon choose the second weapon in epitomized path
That how I could get limited weapon with grinding and no card swiped
Me with a R3 Staff of Homa, pulled 2 of them within the same 10 pull... 🙃
DeJa Vu of seeing some contents exactly the same as Mujin, even the title are literally the same brub💀
Oh.. now i remember why i nvr pulled on weapons banner in the early game...
Well here i am just being "blessed" i guess cuz i got neuvilette's signature at 35 pity and rate off cuz this is my very first time pulling on weapon banner
I remember I rolled 8 times on the Staff of Homa banner and got it.
I still remember "the bell" and "touching bells" 😂
He actually looks so good with his new hairstyle
Still no Wolf’s Gravestone, Bran…🫵
I be honest and say, I used to spend Money on Genshin, but in an very small Amount.
I got enough out of these days to last me forever and I'm never going back. I spend a little over 1000€ on the Game, but came to my senses by myself and said "screw it".
I recently got Nahida 10 summons after pulling Nahida i got Yae Miko one single summon after i got her i got Xiao my luck is insane but all i wanted was to build pity for Nuevilette😭
It feels good brain finally able to get gravestone in few days 🔥
I think my luck was on par if not worse than Tectone, I don't remember how much exactly but let's just say I have 10 wgs and 4 skyward pride on my account as a reminder of pre-pity weapon banner..
Yeah, don't pull on the weapon banner. Out of the 3 times I've gone for a weapon I went 2/2 twice and 1/2 the other time. It took me 199 wishes just to get Verdict for Navia... At least mistplitter was on that banner and not some very niche weapon that is useless on all but 1 character. 430 total pulls to get 3 weapons I wanted. Compare that to 955 pulls to get 10 characters I wanted... Even though the weapon banner is better now, it is still a huge primogem sinkhole.
The unluckiest man. It's even very rare to get unlucky like this 🤣. That's why I don't pull for the weapon banner back then. I started pulling when they put fate points on it. I was still unlucky but not that much 🤣
9:29 i mean, now its zero percent since of the path
I feel like games with gacha mechanics should have some safeguards against irresponsible spending. There are people with gambling addictions, and lack of self-control.
I got WGS and Homa in 76 pulls during that time. Was very good luck for me. XD
Remember, that 2k+ was for one copy... He R5 that thing as well.
I find the fate Point guarantee being after 2 lost 5050s still a scam. That’s too many wishes, and the FOMO from having filled 2/2 fate points by like 1 day before the banner leaves is so high people end up feeling a strong incentive to spend. The game doesn’t give us enough resources even if you save for 2 patches to 2/2 fate points and then guarantee the third weapon you want. It’s just another way to scan while looking good. I guarantee you less people would be pulling on the weapon banner after a loss back then than now.
The new banner system is technically better for weapon selection specifically of course, but it’s still a bit garbage due to us knowing fuck all for how long they run for/when they come back, and the fact that it’s a separate pity system from the normal banners which still requires primos and event wishes, with faint points not carrying over.
I got 3 gravestones like this and my last 10 pull got a homa
I think I can stop watching mujin videos, Brans watches them all anyway. 😂
I only think it's funny because I got staff of Homa on my first pull when I was f2p
Golf's Wravestone never been featured ever since then 💀
Man this was brutal.But as a fgo player nothing is worse than that.
